legiDg assault and battery, was called to.
day before Esquire Simmons aud a
crowded court room. Several witnesses

gument the defendant was promptly dsi-
charged. The most favorable testimony
for the defendant was ELECTED from the
prosecuting witness on -cross-examination
She testified that she had returned
from Ohio to prosecute Gray

ney, and that Snyder was paying her hotel
bill. Snyder being put on the stand adj

WASHINGTON, September 1.-[5pecial.1 =
Judge Thomas f. Davidson, of CraWfords-
willie, is mentioned as very good timber for
the Democratic nominee for Governor OF
Indiana. The name of J1dge Mitchell, of
the Supreme Court, has been mentioned,
but he is ineligible under the Indiana Con-
stitution.
Judge Lowry's visit here recently was in
connection with his contest for the seat of
Capt. j. B. White, OF the Fort Wayne
district. Judge Lowry's brief shows that

the law requires seven years citizenship.
Captain White, however, claims naturali-
atom on his discharge from the army, to
which Judge Lowrey's brief replies that
Whites resignation was accepted "for the
good of the service" and this he contends
is not an honorable discharge.

A prominent eXmember OF Congress
from Indiana, who now resides In this
city, has Just returned from q visit to La
fay cite, Indianapolis and Jacksonville
and he contradicts very fatty the state
ments of several Indiana statesmen who
have recently returned from that State,
and have told the President that all Is
lovely in Indiana. He says most mphat-
ically that every thing is not all right, but
that there Is al i'm nense smouaE of dis
sa isfaction at so many Republicans re-
naming in office. He says that he wants
to see the Administration of Mr.. Cleve-
land succeed, but that from the way
things have been going it does not make
any difference to HIM whether the Demo-
Gratis win or not He found plenty OF
Democrats in Indiana who feel che same
way, and thinks that the State is in bad
shspe. At Jacksonville be found
the most intense dissatisfaction
over the fact that the great majority of en-
ployes are rabid Republicans, who for
twenty years or more have besn in the
habit of giving their money for the sup
port of the Republican party, aud have
always been found at the polls working
for the 6. o. p, He says somebody is to
blame for this rest of offensive partisans
remaining in their nice little pla ces, while
old tried and true Democrats are stan dine
on the sidewalk doirg nothing. This ex.
Congressman says that it is time that m am.
bels stopped giving Cleveland taft, and
tell him just what is necessary to do to
carry Indiana in 1888.
An official here, who Is friend OF
Gov. Gray, says that this tslk of running
the Governor for Vice President is merely
a trick to get him out OF the race for Sen
ator in 1891. Another ssgacious politician
says that the boom is being manufactured
by congressman who want tn control all
the patronage IN the next Administration +;
that Indiana ought to strike for cabinet
position.

The Governor at Jeffer.onyire.

JEFFERsoNvILLE, September Gov.
Isaac P. Gray, accompanied by Mrs. Gray
and niece, arrived st Jacksonville last
evening at 05 o'clock over the j., NJ. &
I. road. The coming of the Governor was
unannoUnced to the public, and his ar
rival IN town was therefore known only to
one or two newspaper reporters and to
Warden B. Patten. the latter having
been notified by telegraph of the intended
visit
The distinguished visitors were met at
the depot by Capt. PAtten, who was IN
waiting with carriage, and who immedi-
ately drove with them to his residence,
where they were enter aimed last night.
Had Gov. Gray's presence in the town been
known, an ovation of the warmest nature
would have been rendered him, as he is
especially esteemed at Jacksonville.
The Governor was seen at the depot upon
his arrival by reporter, when he spoke
freely concerning his visit. He stated that
1t was Of a purely business nature, and that
he would remain until tomorrow, hearing
the statements OF prison convicts, and ex-
amlning those who will ask executive
clemency. There are now 476 prisoners
confined in the prison, and it is thought
q msiorily of them viii endeavor to pro-
cure psrdops. The Governor will COM
meDce bis task to-day, and will make q
thorough inspection of the institution.
Before returning home the party will
visit the Exposition, and If no other en-
,gagemsnts conflict the trip to this city will
be made this evening. When the people
of Jacksonville learn that the Chief Ex-
ecutive of the State is in tha CITY, q great
rush will be made TO see him.

clared that be was authorized to make
such terms with Escobedo as he could, and
in the name of his chief he informed Esco-
bedo that the Republican army might oc-
COPY the convent Of La Cruz at 3 O'clock
on the following morning without en-
countering resistance, aud that Msximilian
in person would there surrender himself
Internationally.
The convent was accordingly seiZ I'D
without resistance, bat Macmillan did
not comply with his promiss to surrender
bis person on that spot Q1eretar0 was
then occupied after some Intellectual resist
ance, and the imperialist leaders were
made prisoners.
In this part of his report Gen. Escobedo
declares In the most emphatic Language
that Lopez was no traitor; that he did not
receive one cent OF money. In evidences
OF his authority to make terms on behalf
of the Emperor, Lopez produced the letter
already alluded to in which Macmillan
desired Lopez to maintain the pro-
foupdest secrecy in regard to the
mission with which he (Lopez)
had been entrusted to General EIcobedo.
This letter removed all doubts from Escob.

Macmillan told Escobedo that he had an

then asked Escobedo to promise
that he would never reveal the manner in
which the convent of Ls Cruz had been
occupied. Escobedo said that he could
make no such engagement, inasmuch as
circumstances of such q nature might
srise as would compel him to make full
statement OF the facts.
Macmillan, however, persisted. He
said that he foresaw his own end, and that
Row his only care was to prevent any stain
from lighting on the Escutcheon of the
illustrious house of Hansburg, of which he
was a scion, and that If he could
not make an unconditional promise, he en-
treated that he would at least engage not to
reveal truth until after the death OF the
unfortunate Empress Carlotta, Escobedo,
mpasslonaIing the unhappy position of
bis fallen foe, made promise on condition
that be should consider himself released
theIefrom if, at any time, circumstances
should arise which might make it impera-
tive on him to speak.

in the newspapers regarding the assn med
treachery OF the Impeiisliss General Lopez,

by Macmillan to offer to deliver the gar
